HALO® Laser Treatment in London
What is HALO Laser?
HALO Laser stands for Hybrid Fractional Laser, a revolutionary Sciton HALO laser technology that combines both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths in a single treatment. HALO Laser targets multiple layers of the skin to improve texture, tone, and overall skin radiance, and its advanced laser system is designed to treat a range of skin concerns, including sun damage, pigmentation, acne scarring, fine lines, and uneven skin tone, with minimal downtime.
The laser creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates natural collagen and elastin production and accelerates cell renewal. This dual-action approach allows for deep rejuvenation while preserving the skin’s surface, leading to smoother, healthier, and younger-looking skin over time.
Our specialist team at Real Plastic Surgery offer HALO laser treatment in London, which typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. While some patients may benefit from a single session, most will see optimal results after a series of one to three treatments spaced several weeks apart.
Post-treatment, it’s normal to experience some redness, swelling, and mild peeling for a few days. You’ll be advised to avoid direct sun exposure and use a high-factor physical SPF to protect your skin while it heals. If you’re looking for a safe, advanced treatment to refresh and revitalise your complexion, HALO laser could be the ideal option. As always, we recommend a consultation with one of our experienced practitioners to determine if it’s right for you.
Key features of HALO Laser in London include:
- Hybrid Fractional Technology: Customisable treatment for depth and intensity, making it suitable for various skin types and concerns.
- Minimal Downtime: Unlike traditional ablative lasers that require weeks of recovery, HALO treatments typically involve only 2-4 days of social downtime with proper aftercare.
- Comprehensive Skin Improvement: The dual-wavelength approach addresses both superficial and deeper skin concerns in a single treatment session, providing more complete skin rejuvenation.
- Minimal Pain: Advanced cooling technology ensures patient comfort while maximising treatment effectiveness and safety.

The Patient Journey: How HALO Laser Works
The initial consultation lasts about 30 minutes, usually face-to-face with one of our expert team at the REAL Clinic in Battersea. Virtual consultations are also available prior to treatment. The specific treatment plan for HALO Laser London will be discussed during the consultation, so you’ll know how many sessions you require based on your skin concerns and goals.
What to Expect on the Day
Your HALO laser treatment begins with thorough skin cleansing and the application of a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. The treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated and the specific settings used for your skin concerns.
During the treatment, you’ll feel a warm sensation as the laser passes over your skin, with the integrated cooling system providing comfort throughout the procedure. The hybrid fractional technology delivers precise energy to both surface and deeper skin layers simultaneously, maximising treatment effectiveness whilst maintaining patient comfort.
Immediate Post-Treatment:
Immediately following your HALO session in London, your skin will appear red and may feel warm, similar to a moderate sunburn. This is a normal response and indicates that the skin’s healing process has been activated. You may also notice some immediate tightening of the skin as the collagen begins to contract.
Recovery Timeline:
- Day 1-2: Skin remains red and may feel tight. Some patients experience mild swelling, particularly around the eyes if the face has been treated.
- Day 2-4: The skin begins to develop very small bronzed areas, known as the mends, which appear as the treated tissue starts to shed. This is a normal part of the healing process.
- Day 4-7: The bronzed skin begins to peel and flake off, revealing fresh, rejuvenated skin underneath. It’s crucial not to pick or scrub the peeling skin.
- Week 2-4: Continued improvement in skin tone, texture, and overall appearance as collagen production increases and skin renewal continues.
- Month 1-3: Optimal results become apparent as new collagen formation reaches its peak, providing long-lasting improvements in skin quality.
Aftercare Instructions:
Proper aftercare is essential for optimal results and includes gentle cleansing, regular moisturising, and strict sun protection. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and recommend specific skincare products to support your skin’s healing process and maintain your results.

The integrated cooling system helps maintain comfort throughout the treatment.
What's the difference between HALO and other laser treatments?

This unique approach addresses both surface and deeper skin concerns simultaneously, providing superior results compared to single-wavelength systems.
Can HALO laser treat HALO laser for scars?

Can I combine HALO laser with other treatments?
